The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Turning toward Hubert, Trenton reasoned, "Mr. Sorano, why don't you apologize
to Mr. Lawrence and promise you won't ever harass him, and let bygones be
bygones?"

"Me, apologize to him?!" Hubert gaped at Trenton in disbelief, unable to believe
his ears.

"Yes." Trenton nodded in confirmation.

"No way!" Hubert bellowed, pointing at Frank as he snapped, "He took away my
golden goose and threatened my life! And you want me to apologize after all
that?! Aren't you bodyguards who serve the Lionhearts? What, are you worried
he'd attack you? Do you think he has the balls?!"

Trenton was actually the Lionhearts' executive who was based in Riverton.

As a retainer of the hearts, he was naturally well-connected. He had long since
heard about Frank's accomplishments from Riverton’s governor Robert Quill, and
the Chief of General Affairs Gerald Simmons.

Naturally, he inevitably came across rumors of Vicky being suspiciously close
with Frank too.

Trenton himself would have eliminated any man who got too close with Vicky, but
he was wise enough to tell that Frank was different.

Not only did the youth manage so many different oddities, but Trenton was also
especially concerned with the last name “Lawrence’.

After all, the Lawrences were one of the Four Families of Morhen too, alongside
the Lionhearts.

They were also the most enigmatic as they always kept a low profile.

Even if the Lionhearts were seemingly the most powerful dynasty in Draconia,
the Lawrences still had an edge over them as they commanded actual military
power.

Be that as it may, there were not many of them, and the head of the Lawrence
family was seventy but childless.

Even so, he stood guard alone over Draconia's southern frontier, keeping the
unruly elements beyond in check and earning him the title of the Lord of the
Southern Woods.

And considering that possible connection, Trenton was therefore wary when it
came to Frank.

"Enough talking," Frank growled, losing all patience since Hubert was clearly
unrepentant.

Walking up to Trenton, he said icily, "Move if you don’t want to die, or I'll butcher
you along with him."

Even as Trenton cursed Hubert for his mindless behavior, he braced himself
against Frank's dark aura. "We have orders from Titus Lionheart himself, Mr.
Lawrence. We will provide refuge for Mr. Sorano—we won't let you kill him."
"Now that's better! You had orders to protect me, so act like it or you'll really
disappoint me!" Hubert snorted sarcastically from behind the bodyguards. "You
heard him, Frank! Run along now, or you'll rest in pieces if you upset the
Lionhearts!"

"Heh..." Frank suddenly chuckled, looking at Trenton as he sought for
confirmation one last time. "So the Lionhearts insist on protecting this bastard?"
"Yes." Trenton nodded despite his exasperation.

Splat!

Without warning, Frank had suddenly thrust his fist forward, punching a hole into
Trenton's stomach!

As Trenton looked on in shock, Frank grinned icily, "Did you think really I'd really
be scared of a measly family like the Lionhearts?"
